Global Newsreport - Japan Press Release

George Town, Cayman Islands - April 23, 2026 - GA Ventures Ltd today announced the official launch of FastX, a next-generation exchange built for professional and active traders who require institutional‑grade tools without surrendering custody or control of their assets. FastX goes live globally on 5 May, with traders able to access the platform directly at fastx.co.

FastX combines deep on‑chain liquidity, multi‑asset perpetual futures markets, and an advanced copy-trading engine designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized digital asset ecosystem. By leveraging blockchain technology, the platform delivers low‑latency mirroring of trades across major decentralized networks worldwide—while keeping users in full control of their own wallets and risk.

"FastX was created by traders for traders," said Adelene, Chief Executive Officer of FastX. "We've spent our careers on Wall Street desks and in crypto markets, and we've seen the same problems repeat: opaque execution, misaligned incentives, and copytrading systems that ask users to blindly outsource decisions. FastX is our answer—a decentralised, transparent infrastructure layer where traders keep custody, and technology works to augment, not replace, their edge."

Backed by a team of veteran traders with more than 50 years of combined experience across top Wall Street institutions and leading crypto trading firms, FastX is built from the ground up as a decentralised protocol. Users connect their own wallets, maintain self‑custody at all times, and interact with smart contracts that execute trades on‑chain, rather than relying on a centralised broker or custodial exchange.

At launch, FastX will offer:

l Deep, on‑chain liquidity across a wide range of perpetual markets, designed to support serious position sizes with tight spreads and minimal slippage.

l A fast, intuitive trading interface accessible directly via fastx.co, allowing traders to plug in with their preferred wallet and start trading in minutes.

l A transparent affiliate and points system that shares a meaningful portion of platform fees with the community and rewards traders and partners who help grow liquidity and volume.

The flagship feature of FastX is its next‑generation copytrading system. Unlike traditional social trading products that mirror orders on a single venue with unpredictable delays, FastX's engine is designed to route and synchronise copy trades across major decentralised exchanges, layering those capabilities on top of FastX's own liquidity.

The result is a copytrading experience that aims to:

l Minimise latency between lead and follower execution.

l Mitigate structural risks such as slippage, desync, and obvious forms of manipulation.

l Exploit decentralised advantages, such as transparent on‑chain track records and programmable risk controls, without turning the platform into a centralised black box.

"Copytrading has always been typecast as a blind, autonomous disaster waiting to happen," Adelene added. "FastX takes the opposite stance. We use technology to bring more transparency, not less—on‑chain track records, built‑in risk parameters, and infrastructure that reduces front‑running and execution games wherever possible. Over time, our goal is to layer AI‑driven intelligence on top of this foundation so that users can benefit from advanced analytics and risk management, rather than just 'follow and hope'."

FastX is currently seed‑funded by a network of angels deeply embedded in the global crypto trading ecosystem. These backers share a common view that the next generation of markets will be built on open, verifiable rails and that traders deserve better, more transparent instrumentation for expressing and managing risk. GA Ventures and FastX are assembling a strong advisory board of experienced traders, market makers, and technologists to guide the exchange through its next phase of growth.

As a decentralised protocol, FastX does not take custody of user funds and does not operate as a traditional broker. All positions, liquidations, and fee flows are visible on‑chain, giving traders clear, verifiable insight into how the system behaves under all market conditions.

"Our vision is simple," said Adelene. "We want professional‑grade perpetuals and intelligent copytrading to live where they belong: on transparent, decentralised infrastructure, not in a black box. Launching FastX on 5 May is the first step. From here, we'll continue to ship faster execution, smarter tooling, and AI‑enhanced copytrading that helps traders survive and thrive in 24/7 markets."

ケイマン諸島、ジョージタウン - 2026年4月23日 - GA Ventures Ltdは本日、資産の保管や管理権を放棄することなく、機関投資家レベルのツールを求めるプロフェッショナルおよびアクティブトレーダー向けに構築された次世代取引所「FastX」の公式ローンチを発表しました。FastXは5月5日にグローバルでライブ公開され、トレーダーは fastx.co からプラットフォームに直接アクセスできます。

FastXは、深い on-chain 流動性、マルチアセットの perpetual futures 市場、および伝統的金融と分散型デジタルアセットエコシステムの間のギャップを埋めるように設計された高度な copy-trading エンジンを組み合わせています。blockchain 技術を活用することで、同プラットフォームは世界中の主要な分散型ネットワーク間でトレーディングの低レイテンシなミラーリングを実現し、同時にユーザーが自身のウォレットとリスクを完全にコントロールし続けることを可能にします。

FastXのCEOである Adelene 氏は、「FastXはトレーダーによって、トレーダーのために作られました」と述べています。「私たちはウォール街のデスクやクリプト市場でキャリアを積んできましたが、不透明な執行、不一致なインセンティブ、そしてユーザーに盲目的な意思決定の外注を強いる copytrading システムといった、同じ問題が繰り返されるのを見てきました。FastXは私たちの答えです。トレーダーが保管権を保持し、テクノロジーが彼らの優位性を置き換えるのではなく増強するために機能する、分散型で透明なインフラ層です。」

ウォール街のトップ機関や主要なクリプトトレーディング企業で合計50年以上の経験を持つベテラントレーダーのチームに支えられ、FastXはゼロから decentralised protocol として構築されました。ユーザーは自身のウォレットを接続し、常に self-custody を維持しながら、中央集権的なブローカーやカストディアル取引所に頼るのではなく、on-chain でトレードを実行する smart contracts とやり取りします。

ローンチ時に FastX は以下を提供します：

l 深い on-chain 流動性：幅広い perpetual 市場にわたり、タイトなスプレッドと最小限のスリッページで大口のポジションサイズをサポートするように設計されています。

l 高速で直感的なトレーディングインターフェース：fastx.co 経由で直接アクセス可能で、トレーダーは好みのウォレットをプラグインして数分でトレードを開始できます。

l 透明性の高いアフィリエイトおよびポイントシステム：プラットフォーム手数料の大部分をコミュニティと共有し、流動性とボリュームの成長を支援するトレーダーやパートナーに報酬を与えます。

FastXのフラッグシップ機能は、次世代の copytrading システムです。単一の会場で予測不可能な遅延を伴って注文をミラーリングする従来のソーシャルトレーディング製品とは異なり、FastXのエンジンは、主要な分散型取引所全体でコピートレードをルーティングおよび同期するように設計されており、それらの機能を FastX 独自の流動性の上にレイヤー化します。

この copytrading エクスペリエンスが目指すものは以下の通りです：

l リードトレーダーとフォロワーの執行間の レイテンシを最小化。

l スリッページ、非同期、および明らかな操作形態などの 構造的リスクを軽減。

l 透明な on-chain トラックレコードやプログラム可能なリスク管理など、プラットフォームを中央集権的なブラックボックスにすることなく、分散型の利点を活用。

「コピートレーディングは常に、盲目的で自律的な災害が起こるのを待っているものとして型にはめられてきました」と Adelene 氏は付け加えました。「FastXは反対の立場を取ります。私たちはテクノロジーを使用して、より多くの透明性をもたらします。on-chain の実績、組み込みのリスクパラメータ、そしてフロントランニングや執行の駆け引きを可能な限り排除するインフラです。将来的には、この基盤の上に AI 駆動のインテリジェンスを重ね、ユーザーが単に『フォローして願う』のではなく、高度な分析とリスク管理の恩恵を受けられるようにすることを目指しています。」

FastXは現在、グローバルなクリプトトレーディングエコシステムに深く根ざしたエンジェル投資家のネットワークからシード資金を調達しています。これらの支援者は、次世代の市場はオープンで検証可能なレールの上に構築されるべきであり、トレーダーはリスクを表現し管理するためにより優れた、より透明な手段を持つに値するという共通の見解を共有しています。GA Ventures と FastX は、経験豊富なトレーダー、market makers、および技術者からなる強力なアドバイザリーボードを編成し、取引所の次の成長段階を導いています。

decentralised protocol として、FastX はユーザーの資金を預かることはなく、伝統的なブローカーとして運営されることもありません。すべてのポジション、清算、および手数料の流れは on-chain で可視化されており、トレーダーはあらゆる市場条件下でシステムがどのように動作するかについて、明確で検証可能な洞察を得ることができます。

「私たちのビジョンはシンプルです」と Adelene 氏は言います。「私たちは、プロフェッショナルグレードの perpetuals とインテリジェントな copytrading が、本来あるべき場所、つまりブラックボックスではなく透明な分散型インフラの上に存在することを望んでいます。5月5日の FastX ローンチはその第一歩です。ここから、トレーダーが24時間365日の市場で生き残り、繁栄し続けるのを助けるために、より高速な執行、よりスマートなツール、そして AI で強化された copytrading を提供し続けます。」

The company repositions its core offering for operators who need a full-featured centralized exchange, regulated fiat banking, and compliance infrastructure deployed as a single stack

Nicosia, Cyprus - April 10, 2026 - Fintech infrastructure provider FinHarbor has repackaged its Hybrid Neobank Module into a unified launch stack that combines regulated fiat banking with a full-featured centralized exchange engine. Financial platforms, exchanges, and digital asset companies can now deploy both under a single infrastructure rather than assembling them from separate vendors.

The move addresses a consistent pain point: operators building hybrid fiat-crypto products have had to piece together exchange engines, banking integrations, compliance layers, and treasury infrastructure from multiple providers. FinHarbor bundles these into one deployable system.

A Production-Grade CEX at the Core

The exchange engine at the heart of the module is built for serious trading volumes and low-latency execution – relevant both for institutional market makers and algorithmic strategies running at scale. Exact throughput and latency parameters are configured to match each operator's infrastructure requirements.

The platform supports Spot, Margin, and Perpetual Futures trading – open-ended contracts with no expiry date. Traders get a full professional order type suite: Limit, Market, and Stop orders, with Time-in-Force controls and Post Only mode for passive liquidity provision.

The trading terminal runs on both web and mobile and includes a full order book with bid/ask depth and cumulative volume, TradingView charting with click-to-price order entry, a depth chart, real-time trade history, and a live view of active, executed, and cancelled orders. Trading pairs – crypto, fiat, and local payment instruments in any combination – are configurable per operator and can be shown selectively to different user groups: retail, institutional, and internal.

API Access for Bots and Market Makers

The exchange connects via REST, WebSocket, or FIX. A single API key covers both the wallet and the exchange, with granular permission settings managed directly from the interface. This makes the platform usable for bot trading, algorithmic strategies, and third-party market maker integrations without additional infrastructure on the operator's side.

Liquidity is structured by user tier: institutional pairs run on automated market making with external liquidity aggregation, retail pairs are hedged through multi-leg chains, and internal pairs support manual market making with end-of-day hedging.

Two Accounts, One Ecosystem

Each user operates with multiple accounts within a single ecosystem: a Main Account for deposits, withdrawals, on/off-ramp, and card operations, plus dedicated trading accounts for Spot, Margin, and Futures activity.

"The line between banking apps and trading platforms is disappearing," said Ilya Podoynitsyn, CEO of FinHarbor. "Operators no longer want to assemble five vendors to go live – wallets, exchange engines, compliance, fiat rails, treasury. They need a single infrastructure layer they can deploy, configure, and scale. That's what we've built."

Risk Controls Built Into the Exchange

The trading layer includes: Fat Finger Protection against erroneous order submission, Price Slippage Limits, Self-Match Prevention, a User Kill Switch for emergency account deactivation, Cancel on Disconnect for FIX sessions, Message Throttling, and Mass Cancel for rapid position clearing. All trading activity feeds directly into the platform's AML monitoring and accounting systems.

Compliance and Treasury as Core Infrastructure

A unified AML and KYC layer covers both fiat and crypto flows, with source-of-funds checks, sanctions screening, and KYT monitoring embedded into onboarding and transactions. Treasury-configured hedging protects operators against exchange rate moves during crypto-fiat conversion.

This matters particularly as MiCA in Europe and expanding licensing regimes across MENA raise the compliance bar for hybrid financial products.

Built for Operators Expanding Beyond Payments

The module is aimed at:

● challenger banks entering crypto with exchange functionality

● exchanges adding regulated fiat rails and neobanking features

● wallets expanding into active trading products

● OTC and treasury platforms building client-facing financial products

The stack also connects to external loyalty and rewards platforms, enabling cashback, points, and retention mechanics without proprietary development.

Programme issued through Kairos Litigation Limited, with first $50 million tranche scheduled to launch in the near term for eligible U.S. and European investors through compliant broker-dealers

LONDON, UK - March 30, 2026 -  T-RIZE Group (https://www.t-rize.io) today announced its role in structuring a private credit digital bond programme of up to $500 million for Horizon Group through Kairos Litigation Limited, a UK-based bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle established as the issuer for the programme. Horizon Group acts as programme manager. The programme will begin with an initial $50 million tranche launching shortly for eligible investors in the United States and Europe on the Canton Network, with capacity for additional tranches over time.

The announcement highlights T-RIZE's institutional tokenization capability: structuring highly complex underlying exposures into institutionally governed, fixed-yield digital instruments built for professional markets.

For the Kairos programme, T-RIZE has digitally structured a specialized private credit strategy into a market-ready issuance framework built on ring-fenced architecture, disciplined governance, permissioned investor access, and full lifecycle administration. Its role spans tokenization design, digital issuance architecture, governance and control logic, onchain instrument creation, lifecycle management, and reporting architecture required for institutional operation.

The underlying exposure is a highly granular portfolio of UK litigation-finance receivables, a segment of private credit historically outside digital capital markets. T-RIZE has helped bring that exposure into a digital bond format designed for institutional use, combining fixed-yield economics, short-duration deployment, and a clearer structural framework for investor oversight.

The credit architecture combines multiple protection layers. The issuer structure is bankruptcy-remote. Assets and related cash flows are ring-fenced. Risk is segmented through independent validation, and claim-level protection mechanisms. The capital-protection layer is supported by a performance-bond framework with reinsurance support from A-rated international reinsurers. Together, these features strengthen capital protection, improve cash-flow predictability, and support a stronger and transparent risk/reward profile than direct exposure to the underlying assets alone.

T-RIZE is also providing the digital operating layer through which the tokens are minted, and administered on Canton Network. It supports onboarding, eligibility controls, credential management, transfer permissions, token lifecycle management, and governance execution. Critical actions are governed through a control framework incorporating multi-party computation and multi-signature approval logic, reinforcing institutional operating standards, and reducing single-point failure risk.

The framework also includes collateral functionality scheduled for later activation, positioning the instrument over time for broader use across financing, treasury and liquidity workflows as institutional digital market infrastructure matures.

For major financial institutions, the significance extends well beyond a single issuance. It demonstrates that T-RIZE can take complex private credit structures, architect them from the ground up, transform them into digitally native frameworks designed for institutional execution, governance, and scale.

"This programme reflects the level of structuring, control and technical integration required for institutional private credit to operate effectively in digital markets," said Madani Boukalba, Founder and CEO of T-RIZE Group. "T-RIZE helps institutions restructure highly complex, market-agnostic exposures into fixed-yield digital instruments with transparent structural protections and a clear onchain transparency layer across the life of the instrument. That opens access to structured opportunities that have traditionally remained difficult for institutions to reach in standardized form, while allowing them to benefit from attractive risk/reward dislocations with stronger governance, visibility and lifecycle control."

T-RIZE also holds a strong position within Canton Network. It is a Premier Member of the Canton Foundation, an early validator and a builder of production-grade tokenization infrastructure on the network. Canton Network now functions as institutional market infrastructure, with live tokenization, active collateral and repo workflows, and growing participation from major regulated institutions. T-RIZE is engineering the Kairos programme inside that framework so it aligns not only with institutional issuance standards today, but with the next phase of market utility; interoperability, governed execution, and future collateral activation on Canton Network rails.

Ann-Marie Bell, CEO of Kairos Litigation Limited, said: "T-RIZE helped us translate a complex private credit structure into a market-ready institutional digital issuance. Their contribution across structuring, governance design, control architecture, compliance logic, and technical implementation was instrumental in bringing the first tranche to market."

More broadly, the transaction positions T-RIZE as a structuring partner for institutions seeking to bring complex opportunities into a governed digital issuance framework on Canton Network, with the standards of control, transparency, and execution required by professional markets.

About T-RIZE Group

T-RIZE Group is a financial technology company building institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure for digital securities, structured products, and real-world assets. The company structures, tokenizes, issues and administers compliant digital instruments across asset classes including private credit, funds, securities, bonds, commodities, and real estate. T-RIZE Labs, the group's R&D division, advances next-generation tokenization systems, and digital market architecture. T-RIZE's technology stack is engineered to institutional and defense-grade security standards and deployed on Canton Network for interoperability, governed execution, and future collateral activation.

About Kairos and Horizon Group

Kairos Litigation Limited is a UK-based special purpose vehicle established to issue digital loan notes and support the structured financing of eligible underlying receivables within a ring-fenced institutional framework. Horizon Group acts as programme manager and brings more than five years of operating history and a zero-default track record across its lending portfolio, supporting origination, underwriting framework, servicing oversight, and portfolio administration in connection with the programme.

Nicosia, Cyprus - March 17, 2026 - FinHarbor recently announced a major update to its modular fintech infrastructure platform, expanding its crypto-fiat functionality and introducing a deeper orchestration layer across all modules. The updated platform bundles IBAN accounts, card issuing, payments and crypto-fiat exchange into a single stack, reducing typical launch timelines from more than a year to roughly one month. The company positions the platform as a ready-to-deploy foundation for fintech startups, embedded finance teams and licensed institutions that want to bring a financial product to market without building the entire stack internally.

The problem it addresses

Launching a neobank from scratch is still a long and expensive process. Most teams need 15–20 engineers, more than a year of development, and roughly €1.5–2 million before the first customer can even open an account.

FinHarbor's approach is to remove much of that upfront work. The platform comes with core components already integrated: pre-built connectors to banking partners for IBAN and account infrastructure, card processing, payment rails, and crypto wallets. In practice, this means companies can start with a working financial product instead of assembling and connecting multiple vendors themselves.

What changed in the new release

The main change in the latest version is the introduction of a unified orchestration layer. Earlier versions of the platform offered modular components that could be connected together. The updated release adds a shared data model, a single audit log and compliance logic that operates across all modules.

Clients now integrate through one API and operate under a single contract, while still keeping the option to replace individual components if needed.

On the crypto side the platform has added extended custody capabilities for clients with specific blockchain integration requirements, broadening the range of supported networks and asset types. The compliance and AML tooling has also been updated, making it easier to configure the system to match each client's internal policies and risk frameworks across different jurisdictions.

A recent deployment in four weeks

One EU-licensed fintech company recently used the updated platform to launch a full neobank in 28 days, including IBAN accounts, card issuance and crypto-fiat exchange.

The first week focused on core infrastructure: setting up the environment, integrating identity verification through SumSub, and connecting to the banking partner's IBAN account infrastructure.

During the second week the team activated card issuing and configured the platform's connections to SEPA, SWIFT, and international payment rails provided by the licensed banking partner.

The third week introduced the crypto layer – custodial wallets, exchange logic and fiat ramps.

The final week was dedicated to integration testing, white-label interface customisation and the production launch.

According to the company, the only noticeable delays were related to compliance approvals with the partner bank – a regulatory step rather than a technical limitation.

Industry perspective

"The new release is based on a simple idea: orchestration matters more than integration," – said Ilya Podoynitsyn, CEO of FinHarbor.

"Connecting APIs from several vendors isn't the difficult part. The real challenge is making those components behave like a single product – with unified compliance rules, a shared audit trail and enough flexibility to avoid vendor lock-in. That's the engineering problem we focused on solving."

Compliance and target users

The platform includes built-in AML transaction monitoring, sanctions screening and configurable verification tiers. Suspicious activity reports can be generated in formats accepted by regulators, and every system action is recorded in a unified audit log accessible through the admin panel or API.

Companies can operate under their own EMI, PI or VASP licence, or work through a licensed banking partner. The platform is designed to support both models and is aligned with regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and DORA.

FinHarbor says the platform is primarily aimed at three types of clients: fintech startups launching an MVP, companies adding embedded financial services to an existing product, and regulated institutions – including banks or government organisations – that need on-premise infrastructure.

It is best suited for companies looking to launch and iterate quickly on a proven infrastructure, rather than building every component from scratch.

About FinHarbor

FinHarbor is a technical platform provider for launching compliant, modular financial products – from wallets and neobanks to crypto ramps and OTC desks. Built on years of real-world fintech experience, the platform covers onboarding, compliance, wallets, transactions, cards, and reporting, delivered with a microservice-based architecture (ISO/PCI DSS-certified), a robust API layer, and on-premise or cloud-ready deployment.

San Jose, Costa Rica - March 17, 2026 - Zylo Ecosystem, a multi-product digital platform that combines trading, gaming products, and online services, has announced the launch of its native token ZYLO.

The token will act as the crypto-economic layer of the Zylo ecosystem, connecting various platform products into a unified digital economy. At the same time, the project's primary focus remains the development of services for a broad audience, including users who are not part of the crypto community.

Everyday Internet Users Remain at the Center of the Ecosystem

Many projects in the crypto industry are built around blockchain technologies from the start and primarily target the Web3 audience.

This approach often limits growth, as such products tend to be understood mainly by users who are already familiar with cryptocurrencies.

Zylo Ecosystem follows a different model.

The ecosystem is designed so that its products are convenient and accessible for everyday internet users who use digital services, play mobile games, and interact with online platforms.

Within this model, the ZYLO token becomes an additional crypto-economic tool that expands the ecosystem's capabilities without complicating the user experience.

What the Zylo Ecosystem Includes

l The Zylo Ecosystem combines several directions that together form a unified digital and crypto economy.

l Trading Infrastructure

l One of the key elements of the ecosystem is intrade.bar, a trading platform with many years of operational history and an established user community.

l Over time, the platform has built a strong presence in its niche within the CIS market and developed a stable user base.

For most users, the platform remains a fully functional online service. The integration of the ZYLO token introduces additional opportunities within the trading infrastructure and expands the platform's economic model.

Gaming Products and the GameFi Direction

Gaming is also an important part of the Zylo ecosystem.

Within the ecosystem, the CosmoFox project is being developed — a gaming universe that includes elements of collectibles and an in-game economy.

At the same time, Fox Survivor is being developed as a mobile and web game in the roguelike survival / bullet-hell genre, where players fight waves of enemies, unlock characters, upgrade weapons, and progress through a meta-progression system.

The games are designed as accessible products for a wide audience, while the ZYLO token introduces additional mechanics such as in-game rewards, rare items, premium features, and competitive modes between players.

In certain gameplay scenarios, users will be able to participate in PvP battles, placing bets in ZYLO tokens. The winner receives the tokens staked in the match, creating an additional in-game economy and increasing player engagement.

These mechanics generate additional token circulation within the gaming economy and create organic demand for the token from players.

This approach forms a GameFi economy within the ecosystem, integrated into a broader digital platform.

Digital Services

In addition to trading and gaming products, Zylo is also developing digital services, including VPN solutions and other online tools.

These services add practical utility to the ecosystem and allow the ZYLO token to be used in real user scenarios.

How the ZYLO Token Works

Within the Zylo ecosystem, the token acts as a crypto-economic layer integrated into the platform's existing products.

The token can be used for:

l purchases within the ecosystem

l gaming mechanics and rewards

l premium features

l special conditions in trading services

l payments for digital services

The Zylo economy also includes deflationary mechanisms, where a portion of tokens is removed from circulation through various burn mechanisms.

As the number of users and services within the ecosystem grows, demand for the token may increase alongside the expansion of its use cases.

Cross-Product Ecosystem Model

One of the key features of Zylo is its cross-product development model, where different products within the ecosystem strengthen each other.

User activity in one service can create value in another. For example, gaming activity may unlock additional opportunities within the ecosystem, while participation in trading services may provide advantages in other products.

This structure enables a more sustainable development model compared to projects built around a single product direction.

Preparation for the First Exchange Listing

Zylo Ecosystem is currently in the final stage of preparation for the first exchange listing of the ZYLO token.

The listing will represent an important step in integrating the ecosystem into the broader crypto market and expanding access to the token for the crypto community.

At the same time, the project's strategy remains focused primarily on product development and user growth rather than on exchange activity alone.

Founder's Comment

"We are building products for a broad audience of internet users, not just for the crypto community," says Alex, founder of Zylo Ecosystem.

"The ZYLO token adds a crypto-economic layer to existing products and allows us to expand the ecosystem's capabilities without complicating the user experience."

What's Next

Following the token launch and the first exchange listing, the Zylo team continues developing the ecosystem, including:

l deeper integration of the token into trading infrastructure

l expansion of the CosmoFox gaming economy

l development of Fox Survivor gameplay

l launching new digital services and expanding them within the ecosystem

At the same time, Zylo is building an ecosystem accelerator, through which new startups will be able to connect to the project's infrastructure and integrate the ZYLO token into their products.

About Zylo Ecosystem

Zylo Ecosystem is a multi-product digital platform that combines trading services, gaming products, and online tools.

The ecosystem is designed as a convenient digital environment for everyday users, while the ZYLO token forms a crypto-economic layer that connects different services and expands the platform's capabilities.

This approach allows Zylo to combine the convenience of traditional online services with the possibilities of a Web3 economy.

Companies can operate under their own EMI, PI or VASP licence, or work through a licensed banking partner. The platform is designed to support both models and is aligned with regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and DORA.

FinHarbor says the platform is primarily aimed at three types of clients: fintech startups launching an MVP, companies adding embedded financial services to an existing product, and regulated institutions – including banks or government organisations – that need on-premise infrastructure.

It is best suited for companies looking to launch and iterate quickly on a proven infrastructure, rather than building every component from scratch.

Tashkent, Uzbekistan - March 04, 2026 - FinHarbor, a modular financial infrastructure provider, has completed the core phase of a hybrid neobank platform for Asterium – a licensed fintech project in Uzbekistan that combines traditional banking with digital asset services under a single regulated framework.

Why Uzbekistan - Uzbekistan is actively building a regulated environment for digital assets. The country has introduced a national distributed ledger system (Mirasmanda) and a state-backed digital asset (HUMO), supervised by the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP). For infrastructure providers, this creates a rare opportunity: a market where crypto and banking can coexist within a clear legal perimeter.

Asterium's project is designed to operate fully within this framework.

What Was Deployed - FinHarbor adapted its microservices-based platform to the requirements of the Uzbek market and Asterium's business model. The core deployment covers three key layers:

Banking infrastructure – management of fiat accounts, issuance of physical and virtual bank cards (VISA, MasterCard, HUMO), and integration with local processing systems.

Digital asset infrastructure – crypto account management, integration with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron networks, as well as native connection to Uzbekistan's Mirasmanda ledger for HUMO asset support.

Compliance and exchange – a unified KYC/KYB/AML/KYT module aligned with local and international standards, integration with global AML/KYT providers, and multiple exchange models including fiat-to-crypto, crypto-to-fiat, and crypto-to-crypto conversions with card-based ramp-in and ramp-off.

The result is a single platform where users can hold bank accounts and crypto wallets, exchange assets, and use cards – all within a regulated environment.

How the Partnership Works - FinHarbor operates as Asterium's strategic technology partner, not just a software vendor. A dedicated implementation team supports the platform on an ongoing basis, managing feature rollouts and infrastructure expansion.

"This project required deep architectural customization – from integrating with a national blockchain system to building compliance workflows that satisfy both local regulators and international standards," said Ilya Podoynitsyn, CEO of FinHarbor. "The core phase is complete, and we are already scaling the platform with new products and business use cases."  

What's Next - With the core infrastructure live, FinHarbor and Asterium are moving into the next stage: launching consumer-facing products and expanding the platform's functionality to support additional business lines built on the deployed stack.
